Four weeks, five people

Writing a book that weaves together five distinct points of view is an incredibly difficult thing to do successfully, and I feel like the author really bit off more than she could chew. The book starts promisingly enough but quickly becomes confused; none of the narrators have a distinct enough voice to make following the plot easy. And it's difficult to sustain an interest in a story when you don't know what's going on. The fact that the characters all feel like stock compilations of mental patients really doesn't help.

I recieved this book free through Goodreads from the publisher in exchange for a review.
